Regularized Variational and Spectral Log-Density-Ratio Estimation in the Gaussian Location Model

Francis Bach

We study ridge-regularized log-density-ratio estimation in the Gaussian location model with a common covariance matrix. By affine invariance, the model is written as q N(0,…

A Spectral Framework for Closed-Form Relative Density Estimation

Francis Bach

We propose a closed-form spectral framework for relative log-density estimation in linearly parameterized probabilistic models, including unnormalized and conditional models. This…

A Convex Loss Function for Set Prediction with Optimal Trade-offs Between Size and Conditional Coverage

Francis Bach

We consider supervised learning problems in which set predictions provide explicit uncertainty estimates. Using Choquet integrals (a.k.a. Lov{á}sz extensions), we propose a convex…

Convergence of Deterministic and Stochastic Diffusion-Model Samplers: A Simple Analysis in Wasserstein Distance

Eliot Beyler, Francis Bach

We provide new convergence guarantees in Wasserstein distance for diffusion-based generative models, covering both stochastic (DDPM-like) and deterministic (DDIM-like) sampling met…

On the Effectiveness of the z-Transform Method in Quadratic Optimization

Francis Bach

The z-transform of a sequence is a classical tool used within signal processing, control theory, computer science, and electrical engineering. It allows for studying sequences from…

Optimal Denoising in Score-Based Generative Models: The Role of Data Regularity

Eliot Beyler, Francis Bach

Score-based generative models achieve state-of-the-art sampling performance by denoising a distribution perturbed by Gaussian noise. In this paper, we focus on a single determinist…
